GarageScout Take
The selling dealer’s 2023 work amounts to a documented mechanical reset, reaching the cooling system, brakes, suspension, steering, wheel ends, and engine ancillaries. The prior repaint, unknown true mileage, and Vermont registration’s omission of the “D” from the chassis sequence remain in the record.
Strengths
- Four-page documentation itemizes approximately $9,400 in selling-dealer work.
- Major 2023 work covered the cooling system, brakes, suspension, and associated steering and wheel-end components.
- Replacement Haartz Stayfast soft top.
Watch For
- The car was repainted orange under prior ownership.
- The five-digit odometer shows 8,000 miles, but true mileage is unknown.
- The chassis number is MAT5DL1167697, while the Vermont registration omits the letter “D” and lists MAT5L1167697.
- The car is being sold on Vermont registration, which serves as the ownership document in Vermont.
